Day 3--Still doing well

Here are some pictures of a great Bar-B-Que restaurant we ate at before Stan went into the hospital. It is called Goode Co. and it has incredibly "good" food. The middle picture is the counter where you order your food--things like pulled pork,jambalaya,cornbread, spoon bread ,BBQbeef briscuit, okra,pecan pie,etc. There is also an old soda chest from which you pick out you bottle of soda or beer. The first picture got a little cut off, but you can sort of see the buffalo head (yes--a REAL One) over the juke box. And the 3rd picture is of the armadillo that decorates the outside seating. On Friday and Saturday nights,they have a band and people dance under the awning.We had a great meal here, but Stan will not be able to eat this kind of prepared food for quite some time again. He can only have food I prepare for him,or individually packaged microwave meals. (I guess it is a good thing that he likes my cooking!)
On DAY 3, Stan is doing still quite well---he says he feels "stoned" quite a bit of the time because of all his meds--but the Drs and nurses seem pleased with him so far. We are told that those patients who walk do well and those that don't walk have the hardest time. We have to schedule Stan's walking when I am at the hospital or when he does not feel "stoned"--(falling could be fatal). So, we certainly hope that he continues to progress this way---we will be watching next week very closely for signs(bad signs) of Graft versus Host disease or signs (good signs) that his blood counts are coming back .
